"Lautenengel"

DUCKOMENTA : "Ancient documents suggest that angels loathed images in which they are portrayed blowing wind instruments since said angels appeared with with puffy cheeks
therein. Rosso Fiorentino negotiated with this angel for three years until they found an appropriate instrument for him: a lute."

"Badende"

DUCKOMENTA : Fear of water was widespread during the Baroque era. People believed that water spread disease. Rembrandt seems to have
hinted that ducks believed the same to in this work which was attributed to him.

"Sonntagsspaziergang"

DUCKOMENTA : "Little is known about ducks' family lives. This piece by Carl Spitzmaus offers a glimpse therein: schoolmaster Gottlieb Biedermauser is portrayed leading
what is assumed to be his wife and children on a tortuous contemplative stroll in the summer heat."

"Poet"

DUCKOMENTA : "Carl Spitzmaus didn't believe that poverty always resulted in disgrace. This piece, however, incurred the wrath of writing ducks. They accused him of, in
barely hidden ways, of making fun of the craft of writing, even of the arts in general."

"Sissi"

DUCKOMENTA : "According to portrait artist Franz Xaver Winterducker, Empress Elisabeth
stood on a chair to make the most of her favourite dress. This motif appeared in several different versions. The artist took the secret of which was the authentic portrait with him to the
grave."

"Ducks Josephus"

DUCKOMENTA : "When he was young, he often referred to the fairytale Kaiser. Later in life, the responsibilities of governance took their toll. The question remains: how
did the busy monarch find time to sit for this portrait?"
